Yes. Once you've set it up, your phone will automatically pair with Carlinkit as soon as you start the car each time.
The battery consumption rate of the phone does not seem to be faster than usual. When your car is turned off, you will notice the device indicator light turning off, and it's almost certain that it won't drain the car battery. If you see the indicator light still on after your car is turned off, there's no need to worry. Our device is low-power, and there might be some residual current, but it will turn off after a short while.
Yes, when using our Carlinkit wireless Carplay adapter, the operating system functions the same as the original car, and all buttons, including Siri, can be used as usual.
You can use wireless connect through wifi or use wired connect by cable option.
This is a problem with communication protocol. BMW's head unit system is not unified with other car's head unit systems, so there is no way to be compatible. All BMW's wireless converters are always separate, and they are not suitable for adapters of other models.
If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact us and provide us with your order number. Thank you.
This device is fast and easy to connect, but sometimes you have to restart the device because it doesn't boot up properly or doesn't connect. (Newest Firmware)
Bought this after watching YouTube videos. When I received the cellophane wrapping was just laying in the package with the box, so i felt like maybe i was sent a used device. Opened the box and it all seemed to be correct and looked new.
When i finally got around to installing it was not quite as easy as the videos made it look and the instruction book is such small writing that I struggled with that. It seemed that the instructions were not step by step. It did load write up on the screen but the screen prompts, or lack there of did not match the book.
When i did finally get it to work the picture was great and connected quickly. I set this up in my garage so decide to go drive around the block in the sunlight. Picture was still good but then it stopped. Appears i had connected to my WiFi and not my phone. After messing around with it out in the street for a little bit i finally got it to BT to my phone. I am. Still unable to figure out how to get it to hook up to my hotspot on my phone vs BT. I am running a 2024 Toyota Tundra Platinum with the 14 in infotainment. I can’t tell about open road use yet, that remains to be seen.
Overall happy with it.
